We get it dude, you don't like Portugal, but don't make some ridiculous fabrication that they were lucky to get the draw. If anything, they were unlucky not to get the full 3 points. They played a solid game. If you truly believe that Portugal were the lesser of the two teams, you really know nothing, NOTHING, about the game.
Portugal is now in a world of hurt, they no longer have destiny in their hands to get the second place playoff spot. But win their remaining 3 games(2 v Hungary and at home to Malta) and get some help, they can still do it, but not likely.

Dude, take your prozac. I watched all 94 minutes of that match, and Portugal were lucky to draw.
Solid game? Stronger for the whole match? Come off it. That game was painful to watch, both teams were pretty brutal but Portugal evidenced to desperation, no drive and no desire. Every free kick was wasted, each and every single one until finally they got one in off a header because Denmark decided to defend like hell for the last 30 minutes.
Portugal managed to piece together a solid 15 minutes of play, and thats probably because the best Portuguese player on the night was Nuno Gomes who pretty much only played about 20 minutes but had more shots on goal than Ronaldo.
Honestly, Portugal almost won that game but Liedson missed his final chance in injury time. Portugal essentially gave up after the 70th minute, no more energy, no more creativity, nothing. They got fortunate that his header went in the 86th, but that was hardly an impressive performance.
Now, you can shove your tired "did you even watch the game or just read the box score" tripe, if you consider that a strong performance by Portugal then you can put down the crack yourself. If that was a strong or dominating Portuguese performance then good riddance to them, they would get absolutely destroyed by any serious competition.
